The Road is Difficult

If Uchiha Yue were located within the Land of Fire, his return to Konoha would only take a few days at most. Unfortunately, Uchiha Yue is currently in the Land of Land of Wind, territory controlled by the Sunagakure. Therefore, even if Orochimaru sends enough Anbu to protect Uchiha Yue Uchiha Yue, his journey back to the Land of Fire from the Land of Wind will still be extremely difficult.

In particular, Uchiha Yue's legs are now severely injured, and he needs an Anbu to carry him so that he can continue his journey.

Therefore, even with the protection of two full squads of Anbu, Uchiha Yue and the others returned to Konoha at an extremely slow pace.

Furthermore, on their way back to Konoha, Uchiha Yue and the others also needed to be wary of being tracked by the Sunagakure ninja. As a result, their travel speed could only be described as snail- Anbu. However, neither Uchiha Yue nor the Uchiha Yue protecting him showed the slightest sign of anxiety. Clearly, Uchiha Yue the Anbu understood that as long as they successfully reached the Land of Fire, any amount of time wasted on the journey was insignificant.

However, even after Uchiha Yue returned to the Land of Fire under the escort of the Anbu, he didn't rest every day. Despite the severe injuries to his legs, Uchiha Yue still able to train under the protection of the Anbu. Whenever he had free time, Uchiha Yue would use the Uzumaki Clan Secret Technique to regulate his spiritual energy and accumulate his chakra.

Because he had more time to organize his spiritual energy, Uchiha Yue felt that many of the impurities within it had been cleared away in just a few days. As a result, Uchiha Yue mood, which had been low due to his severe injuries, improved somewhat. After all, cultivating spiritual energy was equally important to Uchiha Yue. If he could organize his spiritual energy sooner, he could once again absorb the power of the Monster Ido and enhance his own strength.

Of course, Uchiha Yue also had many unpleasant experiences during his journey back to Konoha.

For example, the Anbu Orochimaru sent to protect Uchiha Yue gave him a friendly look along the way. In fact, Uchiha Yue could clearly sense that those Anbu occasionally showed him hostility. Obviously, the Anbu sent by Orochimaru to protect Uchiha Yue were very resentful. After all, if any one of them had been injured, Orochimaru would never have sent Anbu to protect them on their way back to Konoha.

Besides the hostility from the surrounding Anbu, another thing that bothered Uchiha Yue was the difficulty of traveling.

On one hand, they needed to return to the Land of Fire as quickly as possible; on the other hand, they had to be wary of the Sunagakure ninja's pursuit. The journey of Uchiha Yue his Anbu within the Land of Wind was beyond arduous. Sometimes, they had to travel for several nights without sleep. Other Anbu, they couldn't even replenish their food and water supplies. Therefore, under such difficult circumstances, Uchiha Yue and his ANBU Anbu became increasingly anxious.

On one occasion, Uchiha Yue even witnessed the Anbu around him getting into a quarrel due to their anxiety.

And so, under arduous conditions, Uchiha Yue and his Anbu finally arrived at the border of the Land of Wind.

However, don't assume that Uchiha Yue and the Anbu are safe once they reach the border of the Land of Wind.

On the contrary, the real crisis only began when Uchiha Yue and his Anbu arrived at the border of the Land of Wind!

During their journey to the border of the Land of Wind, Uchiha Yue had been resting well, using Medical Ninjutsu daily to heal his leg injuries. However, upon arriving at the Land of Wind, Uchiha Yue and his companions were unable to walk on their own. The border was heavily guarded by numerous elite Sunagakure soldiers. Once there, Uchiha Yue his Land of Wind needed to be wary of the Land of Wind Sunagakure 'Uchiha Yue pursuit and find a way to leave the Land of Land of Wind's border region.

According to Uchiha Yue's calculations, as long as he and the Anbu stayed at the border of the Land of Wind for three days, the Sunagakure's elite troops would be able to discover their whereabouts. However, if they wanted to break through, Uchiha Yue seemed like a burden. After all, even if the Anbu wanted to break out on their own, they would still have to overcome the barrier of the Sunagakure's elite troops. Now, with Uchiha Yue as a burden, it would be even more difficult for the Anbu Uchiha Yue to break out.

Therefore, before breaking through the border of the Land of Wind, Uchiha Yue and the Anbu around him had a good discussion about their breakout plan.

Immediately afterwards...

Just as Uchiha Yue his Anbu were finally preparing to break out, the elite Sunagakure on the border of the Land of Wind noticed their Anbu.

Then, the Anbu around Uchiha Yue engaged in a bloody battle with the elite Sunagakure on the border of the Land of Wind.

To Uchiha Yue's relief, after the bloody battle, he finally managed to escape the Land of Land of Wind under the protection of two Anbu.

However, the price for Uchiha Yue's successful escape from the border of the Land of Wind was that two elite Anbu units perished at the border of the Land of Wind!

"It seems I'm destined to have a blood feud with Orochimaru's Anbu!"

After breaking through the encirclement, Uchiha Yue looked at the two remaining elite Anbu beside him and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Because the two remaining elite Anbu surrounding Uchiha Yue had transferred all their resentment over their comrade's death onto him. Clearly, in their eyes, their comrade shouldn't have died if they weren't trying to escape with Uchiha Yue. However, Uchiha Yue Anbu n't care about their Anbu; he believed they would definitely fulfill Anbu 'Orochimaru orders and bring him back to Konoha.

However, it will be somewhat difficult for Uchiha Yue to communicate with Orochimaru's ANBU in the Anbu.

After all, Orochimaru's Anbu were very united.

Now that Uchiha Yue has killed his comrades in the Anbu, those Anbu who served under Orochimaru can no longer identify with Uchiha Yue.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Yue had long since lost any desire to serve under Orochimaru, so even though the Anbu under Orochimaru no longer accepted him, Uchiha Yue didn't feel anything. Then, as the two elite Anbu continued to escort Uchiha Yue Uchiha Yue back to Konoha, something happened that surprised Uchiha Yue slightly.

Because, just as the two Anbu had finished resting and were about to continue their journey with Uchiha Yue...

Several familiar faces appeared within Uchiha Yue's Purple Eye perception!

"Huh, are they heading to the Land of Wind on a mission?"
